Re: 9900 Bluetooth locking up phone when pairing with 2011 BMW

Don't be kicking them when they're down, mate ;-)They deserve some extra grace period to get their act together for being the first smartphone out there and for having such great products over the years. Besides, I'm sure the iPhone and co. are not without their problems - you just don't hear about them in this forum... The BB is a great workhorse. Although I strongly agree that the quality control with the 9900 has been really poor. Too many loose ends, too many things half baked: the battery life, the bluetooth issue (see solution above), the involuntary jumping between web pages and the poor rendering of some web sites (they are either "zoomed out" too much or "zoomed in" in such a way that you must sling left and right to read the text).So yeah, I am waiting for solution too and I'm confident BB will come thru.

Re: 9900 Bluetooth locking up phone when pairing with 2011 BMW

For this to work, please make sure to:1. Completely delete the pairing from the car.2. Completely delete the pairing from the blackberry.3. Remove ALL bluetooth services, including Headset. The ONLY service that should be left is Handsfree.4. Only when the above is completed a new pairing can be created.

I too have given Alinaari﻿'s soluiton a try. The good news is that I'm so far maintaining Bluetooth connectivity, and calls are not being dropped. However, my 9930 device is still freezing and locking up in any other use mode (e.g. checking e-mail, using Messenger, etc.), so battery pulls are still sometimes necessary. Still, I'll take this stop-gap until RIM comes up with total fix. Hopefully it will hold!

The fix works - in that my phone, contacts, calendar and tasks (the latter two using the Bluetooth Calendar Sync app) now work in my March build 2011 5er. However the email does not sync, nor do the pictures come over with the contacts any more.

Re: 9900 Bluetooth locking up phone when pairing with 2011 BMW

I tried Alinaari suggestion on my 2011 550xi and it is not disconnecting, just make sure you follow his instructions and specially the MAP options (make sure they are all unchecked) it will synch your contacts and it will not disconnect but you will not be able to read your emails/SMSs but the phone works fine, thanks to alinaari it is a temporary solution until the time RIM comes up with a permanent one.
